I cut the l of html but didn't even need it in the first place. Very sorry.
(Thanks, Kelly, for letting me know I was a big screw up. Thanks a lot!
Really.)

Luv Deb's food ideas. All the garbanzo/chickpea dishes are so flavorful. Another garbanzo favorite around here are falafels.

I like the ideas and everything, but just wanted to point out the
following...
We grow the most when we are babies and we supposedly need protein to grow.
The best food for babies is breastmilk. Breastmilk contains only 5% protein
(less than 5%, I think), so why would you need more than 5% protein in your
diet at any other time of your life? Most foods already contain at least 5%
protein, including most veggies.
This is one of the things Dr. McDougall mentions. I'm not veggie, but just
wondering why you think your kids need more protein.

If I don't have protein I get a very bad headache. Same with two of my
kids. Not my husband. Some people seem to be able to live a day or two on
donuts. I might live, but others around me might be sorry I had because after
the headache comes the whiney expressions of pain.
"Need" to grow, "need" to survive isn't the same as "need" to be comfortable.
Not all snacks have to be protein, but when a child is not feeling strong or
is getting cranky or headachy, it's worth offering protein and if it helps it
helps.
People need balanced diets, but school health classes taught it as a
three-times-a-day situation, resulting in some people's feeling of deprivation if they
have a single meat-free meal. Mean three times a day isn't natural in
cave-man terms. It seems cavemen survived, and they didn't kill an animal every
single day. There are nuts and roots and berries. For those who don't
care to consider cavemen, how about farmers in 1880? They didn't kill an
animal every day. They had meals of beans or biscuits and gravy or rice and
vegetables (depending where they were).
And of the evils of preservatives, many cultures have known about smoking,
salting and drying foods for a long time. Vinegar; that's a preservative.

three square meals social convention. Just as a demand fed
breastfeeding baby will have his/her protein needs spread out over
the course of a whole day, so too DS spreads his eating out over the
whole day. Ideas for snacks containing protein is not to increase
the overall quantity of protein necessarily (since each person's
protein needs vary) but rather to provide ideas for things that are
relatively quick and easy and tasty and help meet that need For
instance, hummus scooped in bits of flat bread is a quick finger
food that can be munched while playing board games. (If breastmilk
is 5% protein and a baby averages 6 ounces of it every 3 hours or
about 6-8 times per day, totalling 36-48 ounces, then 2 to 4 ounces
of protein or so spread over a day is about the same amount, not
more, just different sources - a piece of cheese, some hummus,
whatever). I've looked at McDougall's information and I tracked what
we ate each day for a few weeks and wouldn't you know it, we still
came in within what his 'good range' except on days when we had
chicken for dinner - we still ate grilled cheese sandwiches and nuts
and cheese and such. The thing was we were eating it spread out
throughout the day to help balance the carbs/sugars (crackers,
fruit, veggies, etc). And keeping that balance is definitely helpful
for my DS to maintain an even keel emotionally and behaviorally.
Just my two cents
